Delivered to work on the back of a Transit on Thursday morning! The Racing blue sort of stands out a bit!!! Not at all dissapointed with the car. Looks are great, the toys are VERY useful!!! Handling is, surprisingly, in a different league compared to the 306 Rallye i had before. Wasnt expecting to see as much difference, but Im not having to slow down much for corners any more! You needed more technique in the Rallye, in this it seems to be just chuck it in and go! havent explored the limits yet though, so they will probably need a little more thought!
Kept it under 5000 revs so far, mostly under 3500, but the odd blast to keep it on its toes. Initially doesnt seem to pick up as much as the test car I drove, but it is early days. Done 570 miles already so Ill slowly start ramping the revs up in a little while. Very pleased with the MPG too, gone up to 35 according to the computer.
Downsides, quite minor thankfully, are an occasional clunk when pulling away (I believe Im not alone here) and the fact that its decimating the fly population:
